Mercedes-Benz Recalls 2020 GLB 250 for Second Row Seat Locking Defect

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 2020 GLB 250 vehicles because the second row seat may not lock properly, increasing injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat locking mechanism) that poses a risk of injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. is recalling certain 2020 GLB 250 vehicles due to a defect in the second row seat assembly. The second row seat may not be correctly aligned within the seat track on one side, which can prevent the seat from locking properly into place.

If the second row seat is not locked into place, there is an increased risk of injury to the seat occupants in a crash. The recall began on October 23, 2020.

Dealers will inspect the installation of the second row seat and correct it, if necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
